Thank you Ole for the instructions!
indeed I could just extract opt/Qtopia from a fresh .jffs image whenever
new one becomes available, BUT that would not give me easy way to
upgrade the rest of the packages (non-qpe) to the same state as in that
image... I am not sure how much that is important though...
(events/avahi/mediaserver or whatever else qpe relies on).
I wonder if OpenMokoMakefile's qtopia target would substitute your
directions for how to build from sources... lets see...
